Question

For each function,
i) identify the values of the parameters a, h, and k
ii) identify the transformations
iii) use transformations to graph the function and check that it is
correct with a table of values or a graphing calculator

f(x)=-(x-2)^2

Answer 1

If I put –x in for x in the original function, I get:

g(–x) = (–x)³ + (–x)² – 3(–x) – 1

= –x³ + x² – (–3x) – 1

= –x³ + x² + 3x – 1
